-oo-

Markelle Ray put up 34 against Central a couple nights ago. I think Markelle gets player of the year in the SWD, especially if they beat GC tonight. I thought he was averaging the most points in the SWD with 22. Could be wrong on that stat. Reece is a special talent. Will probably get slighted being a sophomore. 

We did it folks! 
 
Now is the official presser going to be at Emory or.....

I give them a 1 in 8 chance.

Never, ever, trust MaxPreps.

Likely the team with the most points at the end of this game wins 

Don't take lessons from WVVA though.  Nobody tops them in ignoring teams in their back door on this side of the state line.

I was lying awake the other night about to apply for this job then I realized, half the people on this board bitch about my broadcasting, I can only imagine the criticism I'd get if I were to get the coaching job.
I think I'll stay in the booth 😘

You'll remember the good times with brothers over wins and losses for the rest of your days.  Then you become not only a client on here, but a member lol.

Big shout out of appreciation. You've given this old high school football junkie another great season. To the hand full of you I actually know, and the hundreds of you I've got to watch this year, Thank you. Although this probably wasn't the championship season you had hoped for, these will still be remembered as some of the best times of your life. Your dedication and hard work is truly admired. Play with Pride tonight, and give it all you got, 1 more time.

Nothing but respect. Truthfully we're both scared to death this week. 

For those of you that are interested in this kind of thing. Graham has won 33 regular season games in a row.
The last time they lost?
2019. September. Week 4. Mitchell Stadium. Against Union
This Friday
2023. September. Week 4. Mitchell Stadium. Against Union
That being said. To be the man you gotta beat the man.
Graham wins 17-13

Let's not forget. Clements is still out. He obviously makes this team much better on offense. When he comes back I think they have one of the most lethal offenses in the state. They aren't just throwing deep bombs anymore. They spread it around really well. They have Daniel Jennings who will complement Clements really well. We'll see if Clements gives it a go next week.

See, I knew it was Gate City!!!!

I've seen him coach multiple games and never have I seen a penis make an appearance.

Dang, was pulling for the Buffs.... Well, I guess the real 2A state champ is Radford.

Maybe they can try this.
 

I'd throw the flying V at them. The annexation of Puerto Rico. The Philly special. The fumblerooski. The statue of liberty.
Unfortunately none of those are basketball plays. But hey, throw it at em.
 
On a side note. If you make it to the championship game then you are THE state champs in my mind. I don't care what the record books say.

If by chance you have 5 guys who can handle the ball very very well and you get to face John Marshall in the 2A Final,  do us all a favor down here. Call on the spirit of Dean Smith and just go the Carolina 4 Corners and hold the ball on those guys.  
I'm sure Ty White would be so frustrated at his number one team not being able to score more than 20 to 30 points in the first quarter and how that would look so bad on him and his recruited private school public school team.  If I'm playing that team full of recruited jokers and I have a team that I know can handle the ball,  I'm going to go spread 4 corners and make them work for every single thing they get.  If I get beat heck I get beat.  But you want to have some fun and get all the fans who don't want JM to win on your side and make it a ballgame???  Go do that 4 corners.  The NFHS Network would blow up with people trying to watch this going on.  I can see it now.   
Final from VCU's Siegel Center
John Marshall 21
Radford 6
I would bow in the utmost respect to any coach that does this.  And I'm sure the point would get across I would hope.  But to me, It would be awesome!
 
Just my take.  Any others?

Plot twist - Rife is sentenced community service and has to coach Richlands girls basketball for another year.

My only suggestion: we name this incident the Tussle in the Hustle. 😂
